Ingredients for 4 persons:

-6 oz flour

-1 egg

-½ oz yeast

-1 tablespoon salt

-½ cup of sugar

Step 1 :

Take the egg and separate the egg yolk from the egg white. Put the egg yolk together with the flour, sugar, yeast and milk in a bowl and stir it with a wooden spoon until you get thick pancake moisture. Add some salt to it.

Step 2:

In a medium sized bowl beat the egg white with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 4 minutes, and then add it to the pancake moisture. Stir it well. Leave the bowl in a lukewarm place, covered with a kitchen cloth to rest for about an hour.

Step 3:

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a ½ -inch thickness. Take a medium sized glass (whisky glass) and cut round shapes dipping glass into flour between cuts. Reroll as necessary.

Fry the round doughnuts in a pan with preheated oil for 1-2 min. flip the doughnuts with a fork when they’re golden in color and fry the other side too. When the doughnuts are ready put them on a paper towel in order to drain the oil from them.
